Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 0.5 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (e.g., avocado oil or vegetable oil)
Instructions
Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick. For easier slicing, chill the beef in the freezer for 20-30 minutes beforehand.
In a medium bowl, prepare the teriyaki sauce by whisking together the tamari, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until fully dissolved, then add this mixture to the teriyaki sauce. Stir well and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add half of the beef strips in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining beef, adding the second tablespoon of oil if needed.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet. Stir frequently and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until the beef is heated through and glazed with the sauce.
Transfer the teriyaki beef to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
Serve immediately over steamed rice or alongside your favorite gluten-free vegetables.
